His rule will stretch from sea to sea,
and from the river to the ends of the earth.
MATTHEW 24:14 (MSG)
All during this time, the good news—the Message of the kingdom—will be preached all over the world, a witness staked out in every country.
THE ESSENCE
The kingdom of God is the good news for the whole world.
DAILY FODDER
The good news/gospel of Jesus isn't just for individuals. It's about Jesus' realm and agenda shaping the nations of the world.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for a kingdom with room enough for all people—even for me! I am sorry for the times I contribute to the divisions of this world. I am sorry, too, for the times I fail to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. Fill my words with praise and proclamation. Send me to speak your word. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
